Summary

This report analyzes trends in fatal and serious injury traffic crashes in Michigan from 1995 to 1999 to inform highway safety planning. Using state crash data, the authors examined crash frequencies and rates across various demographics, road types, and hazardous actions. The study found significant declines in the number and rate of severe crashes over the five-year period, with the largest reductions occurring among drivers aged 16 to 34. The analysis also highlighted that city and county roads accounted for the majority of crashes, while excessive speed was the primary cause of single-vehicle incidents. The authors concluded that while safety goals were met, continued targeted efforts are necessary to sustain improvements.

Key finding

Fatal and serious injury crash rates in Michigan declined significantly between 1995 and 1999, with the most substantial reductions observed among drivers aged 16 to 34 and on city and county roads.
